I watched Pacific Rim for the first time today and kept thinking "who is that actor? He looks so familiar". Halfway through the movie it finally dawned on me that it was Rob Kazinsky (the guy who was originally cast as Fili)! Del Toro must have been like "hey I lost out on The Hobbit, you lost out on The Hobbit, come do this other big genre movie with me." Anyway, it was neat actually seeing him in something, and he would have been good as Fili.

Rob is also in the latest season of True Blood :) pretty awesome role as one of the original vampires! " Why, O people of Noldor! Fëanor cried. Why should we longer serve the jealous Valar, who cannot keep us nor even their own realm secure from their enemy? And though he be now their foe, are not they and he of one kin? Vengence calls me hence, but even were it otherwise I would not dwell longer in the same land with the kin of my father's slayer and of the thief of treasure. Yet i am not the only valiant in this valiant people. And have ye not all lost your King? And what else have ye not lost, cooped here in a narrow land between the mountains and the sea? Here once was light, that the Valar begrudged to middle-earth, but now dark levels all. Shall we mourn here deedless forever, a shadow-folk, mist-haunting, dropping vain tears in the thankless sea? Or shall we return to our home? In cuiviènen sweet ran the waters under uncloaded stars, and wide lands lay about, where a free people might walk. There they lie still and await us who in out folly forsook them. Come away! Let the cowards keep this city!"
